Future Super is Australia’s first 100% fossil fuel free super fund. Future Super was created to empower everyday Australians to move their money out of carbon pollution and into climate solutions. Together, we’re turning off the tap to the fossil fuel industry.

Description

Future Super does not invest in any fossil fuel companies, or in any companies providing significant services and financing to the fossil fuel industry. We are the only super fund to not invest in the big four banks, who are the major financiers of fossil fuel projects in Australia. We also screen out investments in detention centres, live animal export, armaments, and more. Instead, we seek out investments in companies making a positive social and environmental impact, such as renewable energy and healthcare.

Our ethical investment mandate is maintained and monitored by our in-house ethical investment team, who also perform the ethical screening work for the fund. Our investment management is performed in-house by Future Super Asset Management who work closely with the ethical investment team. Our team applies a negative and positive screen to Australian and global listed equities, while seeking to create impact through Future Super's fixed interest, infrastructure and alternatives portfolio. Future Super's impact focus is on helping build Australia's clean energy future. The Future Super Growth option has a target 20% allocation to renewable energy.

Our ethical investment team also works with other fund managers, like Betashares and Infradebt, to create and provide seed investment for new products that comply with Future Super's strict ethical mandate. We believe this is important to ensure that all super funds can have access to portfolios that apply the same strict ethical criteria as Future Super.

Future Super believes in transparency. Our whole portfolio can be easily found on our website at www.myfuturesuper.com.au

The purpose of this tool is to assist you to find out about financial products that apply a responsible or ethical investment strategy that may be of interest to you. The information provided by this tool is not a recommendation to invest in any investment products. The tool does not take into account your particular investment objectives, financial situation or investment needs, all of which should be considered prior to making an investment decision. You should seek professional financial advice before making any investment decision.

What sets these investment products aside from regular ones on the market is they all have some type of responsible or ethical strategy applied to them.

At a minimum, their issuers explain these strategies in public documents and open their offices and books to third party verifiers who check these strategies are implemented according to what you read about them publicly.

You can also click through to see the underlying managers and / or stock holdings in each certified product as well as access a certified product’s recent performance results.

Because there are simply so many different approaches to investing (and interests that people have in it), we haven't set out to define responsible or ethical investing or standards. Instead, we've served up our member's certified products with a large dose of transparency and independent verification, so that you the consumer can draw your own conclusions from reliable information and choose investments that best suit your individual needs.
